5.3 General Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall framing is ready for the main valve body and other components. Mark precise locations for the shower head, body jets, and handheld shower holder according to your desired layout and the provided diagrams.
- Install Main Valve Body: Secure the thermostatic valve body within the wall, ensuring it is properly aligned and at the correct depth relative to the finished wall surface. Connect the hot and cold water inlets (NPT 1/2") and outlets for the shower head, handheld, and body jets.
- Connect Piping: Run the necessary plumbing lines from the main valve body to the locations of the shower head, handheld shower holder, and body jets. Use appropriate NPT 1/2" fittings and ensure all connections are sealed with Teflon tape for a watertight fit.
- Install Shower Head and Arm: Mount the ceiling-mounted shower arm securely to the ceiling structure. Connect the 12-inch shower head to the arm.
- Install Body Jets: Install the 6 solid brass body jets into their designated wall openings. Ensure they are flush with the finished wall.
- Install Handheld Shower Holder and Hose: Mount the handheld shower holder to the wall. Connect the 59-inch stainless steel shower hose to the handheld shower and the wall outlet.
- Water Testing: Before closing the wall, perform a thorough water test. Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate each function (shower head, handheld, body jets) to ensure proper flow and temperature control.
- Install Control Panel and Trim: Once water testing is complete and no leaks are found, install the decorative valve panel and handles onto the main valve body. Install the covers for the body jets and handheld holder.

7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure your MONDAWE shower system remains in excellent condition and functions optimally.
7.1 Cleaning the Chrome Finish:
- Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
7.2 Cleaning Shower Head and Body Jet Nozzles:
- Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the nozzles, affecting water flow.
- Many nozzles are made of rubber and can be easily cleaned by gently rubbing them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge deposits.
- For stubborn buildup, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the affected parts (if removable) or apply the solution with a cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles, partially closed shut-off valves, low household water pressure. | Clean shower head/body jet nozzles. Ensure all shut-off valves are fully open. Check household water pressure. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Thermostatic valve malfunction, insufficient hot water supply. | Ensure hot water supply is adequate. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections, damaged seals/O-rings. | Tighten connections. Replace any damaged seals or O-rings. Ensure Teflon tape was used during installation. |
| No Water from a Specific Function | Diverter valve issue, clogged outlet. | Ensure the correct diverter knob is fully engaged. Check for clogs in the specific outlet. |
